I like to add a dollop of honey, some butter, fresh parsley and some black pepper to a bunch of chopped carrots and wrap them in foil and bake on the grill. It's the best.

For some reason that was known as "shipwreck" in my house. Hated it as a kid but it's one of my favourite comfort food dishes now.

A couple of friends and I have been trying to coordinate a group purchase of a side of beef for a couple of years now but we've never all had the cash/freezer space at the same time. Maybe we should aim a little lower and start with a pig?

I was camping most of last week, so we didn't cook anything too adventurous (as we anticipated, camping with a 20-month-old is a bit of a bitch, so we brought a lot of pre-cooked food we'd made in advance and stuff that was easy to assemble with minimal effort).
